When Bills rookie speed demon C.J. Spiller (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=192151) thinks about what his "Madden NFL 11" skill ratings should be, one number comes to mind.
"I don't want to see anything less than 97," he tells me with a confident grin. "Ninety-seven speed, 97 acceleration, 97 catching, 97 vision."
But when I tell him how EA Sports usually drops the rookies way down from what they're used to seeing in the "NCAA Football" franchise, all Spiller can do is laugh.
"I know I'll probably be disappointed," he says, "but I just wanted to throw those numbers out there. Gives me something to shoot for this year. If I have a big year, they have to make me better in the game."
UPDATE: EA Sports just hit me up with Spiller's official "Madden NFL 11" ratings. Looks like he will make a huge impact in this year's game with that kind of speed and acceleration.
Speed: 95
Acceleration: 97
Vision: 73
Catching: 74
